  Delineation of Biblical Application for Anointed vs R&F

  by IronSharpensIron in

  i think it would be great for the gb to clearly define the scriptures that are intended towards the 'anointed' who are already counted, depending on who you believe, and the remainder of scriptures intended for the rest of the followers.

  that way there is no confusion during biblical discussions about how little of the bible actually has to do for the great crowd.

  and so new studies can clearly see, defined, how little of the bible god cared to preserve for the great crowd.. further it would be useful to know from the gb what scriptures are believed to be literal and which are solely spiritual.. just an idea.

  Thorn in the Elders' Side

  i've been out of the jw for some time.

  but i was just recalling this guy that had formerly been an elder, but had not agreed with the rest of the elders on some issues and had stepped down.

  he continued to go to the meetings, make comments at the hall and be critical of the elders.

  Love for the Hate

  i just wanted to share a perspective related to my experience with leaving the jw.

  at this point, i have been df'd since i was 18. i'm 25, happily married with 2 fantastic children.

  after being miserably at odds with my parents and extended family, i've come to some realizations as follows.. i struggled with the conditional nature of my parent's love- talking to me until it bothered their conscience, then cutting me off.
